Good to hear from you! Once upon a time I was stationed at great lakes naval training command. Aside from the cold wind off lake michigan I have fond memories of the place. Hope your son does well there!

Yesterday I went for a walk in the woods with my bow, saw a nice buck chasing a doe but they were at about 90 yards and outside my range. Climbing down in the dark my boot slipped and shaved a spot about 5" long on my shin, it made me curse a bit.. Today it is throbbing and I'm trying to limp it off...
This morning I ran some errands, picked up some more pain reliever as I am low, got a couple of whole chickens on sale and the makings for a couple breakfast casseroles. I'm off today and was planning to go for another walk in the woods, but instead I think I will change the oil in the car, wash both vehicles, and take the wife to look at a new Baby Lock surger. I think that last one will hurt as much as skinning my shin...

baking bread today, waiting on stuff in the oven. It's very cold out so I have the big buddy on in the kitchen so my dough works
In between I am watching the Great British baking show LOL, they give me ideas sometimes. I love that show

Epsom salt in tepid water, use a wash cloth and soak it for a good 20 min. You’ll still have a dandy bruise, but it does help soak the soreness out.Yesterday I went for a walk in the woods with my bow, saw a nice buck chasing a doe but they were at about 90 yards and outside my range.

Car maintenance today — new tires finally. I’ve been here five years but don’t drive a ton, so the old California tires wore slowly. New Cross-Climates now, so I’ll be safer driving in the winter.
Didn’t get to the jam yesterday, so that’s a project for today along with yogurt.

HI all! Got home Wednesday and did chores until sleep time. Yesterday, went to Walmart, Aldi, etc and did laundry. Came home with 3 fever blisters and a slight cough. I'm guessing the L-lysine kept me from really getting sick! I had a great visit as the great grandkids are older and can communicate better. We ran the whole time I was there with very little sleep. Came home and slept over 10 hours Wednesday night and 9 hours last night!
Already walked this morning and will work at cafe for 3 hours today. Don't have plans for much else.
Happy Belated Birthday @zannej and Happy Anniversary @Neb ! I will try to catch up later.
So glad to be home!!! And I lost 4 pounds on vacation and 1 more since getting home. We ate out every day, but I didn't eat too much apparently! 3.8 pounds from final goal/ 102 pounds down now!

WOW and congratulations!! And glad you are home!
Got up, worked out, found out I didn't have go to the spa, celebrated, went and soaked in the hot tub, came back, cleaned up, got dinner started, played on the internet, put some new grips in my Beretta 92 Brigadier Inox, took out the trash and checked on Charlene, turned on the television, and here I sit watching time tick away. I have little plans for this afternoon / evening other than to go shoot my new handgun purchases, hang out with the lady and eat dinner.
it was 32f here
FANTASTIC !!

But Kansas is a great place to end up! And I have four apple trees for switches.
Managed to take a day off!! Got a bunch of little tasks done, some laundry, and took Bear to the hike/bike trails for a 3 1/2 mile walk! We would have gone further but we got a late start! Taking a nap shortly!!
Was absolutely craving a BLT.
So I defrosted a package of bacon, fried it up, sliced a tomato, cut up some lettuce, made some toast, slathered some mayo, and ...
VIOLA!!! A great BLT!!

I love a good BLT
Dave the builder guy finished today, and all the crazy projects we had him working on are all done. Hooray!
Mailed some books to MIL today, picked up another bushel of apples, since the price went down to $20. We went into the bigger town for feed and pharmacy pickup. Levi the neighbor boy came along, too. He and little granddaughter helped unload a truckload of it.

It's been a long day with some medical testing that turned out fine and then some time with Iowa Federal Senator Joni Ernst in a town hall meeting she arranged. She was receptive to encourage female veterans to get together with themselves and get comraderies because only THEY understand what they may have went through in the military. She likes the work I am doing locally and agreed to get more of my information via her staff, which I will be in touch with. I also want to encourage female veterans to step forward and get any disability money they deserve. I hope and pray for the best for them.
Made two batches of candles today. Should be good for winter now. I burn them daily except when it’s light at 4AM.
Made a loaf of sourdough: had a friend over with her two little ones so it’s half gone.
I’m a lame-o.
Happy anniversary @Neb & @ThePrincess

Thank you Lenny!!
More work on the fence today. No more cuts to deal with thankfully. The only sharp objects today were the chainsaw and barbwire, I know how to handle them.
Somehow, think on tuesday, I pulled a muscle in my lower back. Very lower back, almost gluteus maximus territory. Hurts like heck but I haven't done anything about it. Haven't figured out the logistics of soaking my butt in a tub of epsom salts since I have a walk in shower.
Solomon's Seal is getting me through the day though. Today was spent digging with post hole diggers. I'm sure I'll have a new pulled something or other when I wake up tomorrow. Such is life!

Very little. Slept until 145. Wife had got up took the dog out and layed back down on the couch. She didn't wake up till 1. Yesterday wiped us out. Still not feeling too good, but maybe a little better than yesterday. Went out and sat on the porch for a couple hours. 75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Felt good to be back home.
If I was there, I’d make you both a cup of tea and give ya (both) a big ol hug. You two are dealing with a lot. Sounds like things are heading in the right direction. Breathe easy and get some rest- yes again both of you.
